About Laser Vision Correction
PRK
SURFACE ABLATION SURGERY
Treatment steps
- The outer layer of the cornea (epithelium) is dissolved.
- The layer is removed or moved to the side.
- The vision is corrected through tissue ablation
- with an excimer laser.
- A protective contact lens is placed over the eye
- until the epithelium grows back within a few days.
Characteristics
- More suitable for patients with thin corneas.
- Least expensive Laser Vision Correction procedure.
LASIK
FLAP SURGERY
Treatment steps
- A flap, a hinged piece of tissue, is created with a device (LASIK) or highly precise femtosecond laser (Femto-LASIK).
- The flap is carefully folded back to treat the corneal tissue.
The vision is corrected through tissue ablation with an excimer laser. - The flap is returned to its original position, protecting the eye much like a natural bandage.
Characteristics
- Treatment standard for over 20 years.
- Normally quick visual recovery.
- Performed by many clinics and doctors.
